The sides of the Tetractys have the values 1 2 3 4 9 8 27, which are called "the seven boundaries of all numbers" (Mead 164); arranged in this way they are called the Lambdoma or Platonic Lambda. Their significance is described below.
In addition to the Tetractys that increases by addition, 1 2 3 4, the Pythagoreans say there is another that increases by multiplication, that is, in geometric proportion. Plato (Tim. 31C) says that a continuous geometric proportion is the most perfect bond, and so we find such a proportion along both sides of the Lambdoma: 1 2 4 8 and 1 3 9 27.
The duple progression (1 2 4 8) represents "the evolution of the vehicle" proceeding out of Unity, that is, the differentiation and division that constitute the physical body. The triple progression (1 3 9 27), in the order of involution (27 9 3 1), represents "the development of consciousness" as a return to unity, that is, the unification and integration of the psyche. (Note that the Pythagoreans considered 1 to be neither even nor odd, nor even a number properly speaking, but the source of both the even and odd numbers; 2 was the first even and 3 the first odd.) In general, the duple axis represents the physical, temporal, divisible and perishable; the triple axis represents the incorporeal, eternal, indivisible and imperishable.
(Aristides III.24; Mead 165-8; Theon II.38)
(Cornford, Pl. Cosm. 43-52; Plato, Tim. 31B-32C; Theon II.38)
Empedocles (fr. 17) taught that there are two primal forces in the universe, Strife (Neikos) and Amity (Philotes), which are the motive power behind the motion of the elements and the progress of the soul. Strife is the power of division (2) and therefore governs the duple progression; Amity is the power of union (3) and therefore governs the triple progression. Both are necessary to the existence of the universe. Indeed, Aristides (II.17) assigned the duple progression to Ares and the triple progression to Aphrodite, but he also assigned the interior numbers (6 12 18) of the Tetractys to Hephaistos, the Divine Craftsman (Demiourgos) who bound together Ares and Aphrodite when they had once united. Therefore, we will consider the planes again and see how they are bound together by the interior numbers for, in addition to the sides of the Tetractys, its bottom, 8 12 18 27, is bound together by geometric proportion, as is its center: 4 6 9, 2 6 18, and 3 6 12.)
The Pythagoreans considered the even numbers female and the odd numbers male,
genders which can be interpreted as suggested by Aristotle (De Gen. & Cor.
716a14): the female is that which generates in itself, the male is that which
generates in another. The value 6, corresponding to alchemical Mercury,
represents the androgynous psyche as the mean between the female (4) and male
(9) psyches, which correspond to alchemical salt and sulphur, respectively. The
existence of a mean between the extremes represents good proportion (the Golden
Mean), so the corresponding virtues are beauty (4) in the body and moderation
(9) in the soul.
Since 2 represents the material principle and 3 the spiritual principle, we find
that 8 is the number of earth and 27 is the number of fire, for Plato (Tim. 31B)
said that physical objects presuppose three dimensions and are characterized by
tangibility, which requires earth, and visibility, which requires fire.
However, they cannot be united without a mean to join them, and indeed two means
are required to join two cubic numbers. Thus the elements water (12) and air
(18) are both necessary to physical unity.
The four elements, earth water air fire (8 12 18 27), are progressively less
dense (material) and more subtle (spiritual). The extremes are absolutely dense
(2.2.2) and absolutely subtle (3.3.3); the means are relatively dense (2.2.3)
and relatively subtle (2.3.3). The subtle elements (air=2.3.3, fire=3.3.3) are
both hot (separating), due to an excess of sulphur (3); the dense elements
(earth=2.2.2, water=2.2.3) are both cold (coagulating), due to an excess of salt
(2). The intermediate elements, water (12) and air (18), both contain
mercury (6) as an exact divisor.
The elements satisfy two proportions: earth is to water as air is to fire (8:12
:: 18:27) - that is, as wet is to dry; and earth is to air as water is to fire
(8:18 :: 12:27) - that is, as opposites. The four parts in double opposition
(hot/cold, wet/dry) represent balance among parts (among the four there are six
3s and six 2s), and so the associated virtues are health (8) in the body and
justice (27) in the soul.
(Aristides III.24; Cornford, Pl. Cos. 43-52; Plato, Tim. 31B-32C)
As we've seen, Plane I is the Ineffable One. It is the pivot around which
rotate the Axis of the Different (the duple progression) and the Axis of the
Same (the triple progression), which rotate in opposite directions and together
drive the universe and human experience. The Axis of the Different is the
Erratic Cause, which is under the control of Nature (Physis) and moves by Chance
(Tyche) and Necessity (Anangke); its rotation (counterclockwise from the Pole)
causes cyclic generation and destruction; with it turn the Seven Planetary
Spheres (for the planets have different motions). The Axis of the Same is the
Inerratic Cause, which is under the control of Art (Techne), that is Reason and
Design; its rotation (clockwise from the Pole) causes perpetual generation; with
it turns the Astral Sphere (for the fixed stars all have the same motion).
(Cornford, Pl. Cosm. 127-34, 141, 160-73; Plato, Tim. 47E-48B)
The three principles (4 6 9 = salt quicksilver sulphur) on the plane of the soul
show its ways of apprehending the world. Along the axis of the divisible (1 2 4
8) it apprehends Intermediate Difference (represented by Salt = 4), that is, the
mean between Formal Difference (2) and Physical Difference (8), which allows it
to distinguish things. Along the axis of the indivisible (1 3 9 27) it
apprehends Intermediate Sameness (represented by Sulphur = 9), that is, the mean
between Formal Sameness (3) and Physical Sameness (27), which allows it to
apprehend the identity of things. By combining the two it apprehends
Intermediate Existence (represented by Quicksilver = 6), that is, existence in
the psychic world.
(Aristides III.11; Cornford, Pl. Cosm. 59-66; Plato, Tim. 35A)
Any geometric progression A:B:C:D generates a second geometric progression A :
A+B : A+2B+C : A+3B+3C+D. In this way the "stationary progression" 1:1:1:1,
representing the Unus Mundus, generates the duple progression 1:2:4:8, which in
turn generates the triple progression 1:3:9:27. (Theon II.51)

Send comments about this page Plane IIII
The fourth plane comprises the Heptad, Octad, Ennead and Decad (vii, viii, ix,
x), with numerical values 8, 12, 18 and 27. The two extreme principles are
cubic (solid) and divisible (8 = 2.2.2, 27 = 3.3.3); therefore there are two
means between them (12 = 2.2.3, 18 = 2.3.3) for, as Euclid proved, there are two
geometric means between two cubes (solids).
The Soul as Intermediate Plane
In Platonic terms, Planes II, III and IIII represent three grades of existence.
Plane II represents the indivisible existence of the Forms, which are
intelligible, ungenerated, noncomposite, divine and eternal - the realm of
Being. Plane IIII represents the divisible existence of Bodies or Things, which
are perceptible, generated, composite, mundane and temporal - the realm of
Becoming. Plane III represents the intermediate existence of Souls, which mixes
Being and Becoming, the intelligible with the generated, in some ways
noncomposite and in other ways composite. The Soul makes the world intelligible
in time, for without change, life and intelligence is impossible.
More on the Planes
According to the Orphics, the contemplative virtues correspond to Plane I, which
is supreme-at-one-ment; the spiritual virtues apply to Plane II, which is the
causal body; the purifying virtues apply to Plane III, which is the subtle body;
the practical virtues apply to Plane IIII, which is the gross body (Mead 181).
Then again, according to Theon (II.38) and Aristotle (De An. 404b16ff), Plane I
corresponds to the Mind (in unity), Plane II to science and knowledge (because
they draw dualistic distinctions), Plane III to opinion (because it's a mean
between knowledge and ignorance), and Plane IIII to sensation (there being four
senses from which judgement proceeds: seeing, hearing, smelling and tasting).
These are Jung's four functions: intuition, thinking, feeling and sensation.

Previous studies have repeatedly shown verbal intelligence deficits in adolescent antisocial individuals, but it is not known whether these deficits are in place prior to kindergarten or, alternatively, whether they are acquired throughout childhood. This study assesses whether cognitive deficits occur as early as age 3 years and whether they are specific to persistently antisocial individuals. Verbal and spatial abilities were assessed at ages 3 and 11 years in 330 male and female children, while antisocial behavior was assessed at ages 8 and 17 years. Persistently antisocial individuals (N = 47) had spatial deficits in the absence of verbal deficits at age 3 years compared to comparisons (N = 133), and also spatial and verbal deficits at age 11 years. Age 3 spatial deficits were independent of social adversity, early hyperactivity, poor test motivation, poor test comprehension, and social discomfort during testing, and they were found in females as well as males. Findings suggest that early spatial deficits contribute to persistent antisocial behavior whereas verbal deficits are developmentally acquired. An early-starter model is proposed whereby early spatial impairments interfere with early bonding and attachment, reflect disrupted right hemisphere affect regulation and expression, and predispose to later persistent antisocial behavior.

Not too long ago Bill O'Reilly made the astute observation that Americans are the ones responsible for the chaos that is currently enveloping this nation.
While O'Reilly was not talking about moral chaos, the fact is that the national crisis of conscience is at the foundation of all that ails America.
For example, we cannot blame the Obama administration for our own failure as pro-life Americans to enunciate honestly how to confront a fundamental moral error like that of sanctioning the direct killing of innocent children. We are as a culture blind to reality, preferring instead to label deadly actions as mere personal preferences. If this were not so, Bill Clinton would never have been chosen "Father of the Year," President Obama would not have been chosen "Person of the Year" and Vice President Joseph Biden would not be calling himself Catholic and having a private Catholic Mass celebrated in his home prior to being sworn in as vice president this past Monday.
Presidents Clinton and Obama are poster boys for decriminalized abortion, as is the vice president who has also distinguished himself as being capable of defying Catholic doctrine without a single word of admonishment being uttered by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. It would seem that no disgrace is worthy of attention these days.
And who is to blame for such flagrant abuses of humanity and Christ Himself? We are; the people are responsible. Here are the facts.
America just reelected the most pro-abortion president in the history of our nation—and more than 50 percent of Catholic voters helped make this happen.
Yet today, January 25, thousands of Americans will defy the chilling cold temperatures in Washington, D.C. to stand in solidarity with the preborn baby and decry the act of abortion and the Supreme Court decisions that have facilitated it.
The thought that comes to mind is not a pleasant one, for I have to ask myself how many of those who stand in the freezing cold are really against every single act of abortion, every act of contraception, and every in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure. I would hazard a guess that there are not many at all.
Whether it is because of ignorance or political posturing, even the term pro-life has become meaningless. And that is our fault.
As Pogo once said, we have met the enemy and he is us.
It's the people who are responsible for the disconnection between what is true and what is public perception. Pro-life apologists have muddied the waters. Each of us as a united body of leaders has not been definitive in explaining that whether a surgical abortion is the result of rape, incest, or described as necessary to save the life of the mother, no abortion is acceptable.
We have not spoken about the evils of contraception as being the taproot of the abortion culture in this nation.
We have not moved heaven and earth politically to stop the practice of in vitro fertilization, which results in the deaths of only God knows how many preborn children during their first moments or hours of life.
So as we mourn the demise of countless millions of our fellow brothers and sisters on this tragic day, we must also resolve to stop the madness, the deception, and the politicking within our movement.
No more fabricated claims such as the polls stating that most Americans are pro-life. The right questions are never asked!
My heart aches for this moral crisis and for this nation. My suspicion is that America's dirty little secret—lack of faith in God—is robbing us of our ability to be courageous and demand honesty from ourselves and others.
We are weak because we have failed to put our trust in God; instead we placed it in ourselves and our own perceived intellectual prowess.
On this 40th commemoration of the nation's most deadly Supreme Court action, it is time to ask ourselves what it will take to achieve victory.
We may well find that the answer is quite simply prayer, fasting, and revival.

The soul of our Nation is battered and abused. It has no more love and care other than "self". It is being taught from all sides that the relativistic self is all that matters.It starts in our homes, emphasized in our schools at all levels and fortified by the government and all forms of media and entertainment, the love and care for all people has been replaced by the satisfaction of "self". Lord we pray desperately for true leaders in our families, our faith and government. On bended knee and bowed head we seek your strength and forgiveness.
James Howard | 2013-01-26 01:41:18
Excellent article. Yes, our people have abandoned God and their Faith in Him. We have become a nation of IDIOTS. A new DARK AGES has decended across this land. We cannot ask God to bless our nation as long as we kill innocent babies. Equal rights for the unborn babies. I said that over 40 years ago when I joined the Pro-life movement as a young teen. It took almost 100 years to stop slavery after this nation was founded. God forbid, but it might take almost as long to stop the Silent Holocaust of abortion. Thank you Judy.

Dear Judie,
Thank you, but please do not forget those living persons who have their vital organs taken, which causes their death or makes them weaker.

Sony definitely lost their way ever since they went into the content business. Eventually the content executives took over and started calling the shots. No longer was technology the main driver of the business. Now technology only exists as a way to deliver their content. This is why Howard Stringer is the CEO. He's a media guy who worked in the media business for over 30 years before he worked at Sony. This is why Sony failed to capture the MP3 player market, or the cellphone market. They were more capable than Apple in creating an iPod or an iPhone, but their content division crippled them.

In 1885 multi-millionaire industrialist Henry Morrison Flagler (1830-1913) initiated a grand scheme to turn Florida's east coast into the "American Riviera" and the city of St. Augustine into the "Winter Newport." The Hotel Ponce de Leon, which was constructed in 1885-1887, was intended as the flagship of Flagler's resort empire. This palatial Spanish Renaissance Revival hotel, with Italian, French and Moorish influences, was the first major commission for the Carrère & Hastings architecture firm.
John M. Carrère (1858-1911) and Thomas Hastings (1860-1929) were American architects of the late-19th and early-20th centuries who specialized in Beaux Arts architecture. The Carrère & Hastings firm designed more than 600 buildings, including the New York Public Library (1902-11) and the U.S. House and Senate Office Buildings in Washington, D.C. (1908-09). They were partners from 1885 until Carrère died in 1911. Hastings continued to practice, managing the firm until he died in 1929.
The Hotel Ponce de Leon opened in 1888 and was operated by Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Hotel Company. Nationally significant for both its architecture and engineering, the building is the first large cast-in-place concrete building in the U.S. The hotel was constructed using poured concrete mixed with local coquina. The design reflected the wealth and extravagance of the upper-class during the Gilded Age. Members of the design team included Louis Comfort Tiffany, Thomas Edison, Bernard Maybeck, George Willoughby Maynard, and Pottier & Stymus. The firm of McGuire & McDonald was hired to supervise construction of the Hotel.
The Hotel was operation for almost 80 years. During World War II the building was used as a Coast Guard Training Center. Hotel operations ceased in 1967, and in 1968 the hotel became part of the campus for the newly established Flagler College as Ponce de Leon Hall. The building was added to the National Register in 1975 and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
In addition to the Hotel Ponce de Leon, Flagler commissioned the Carrère & Hastings firm to design several other projects in St. Augustine. The Grace Methodist Church was constructed in 1886-1887 (National Register 1979). The Hotel Alcazar, now known as the Lightner Building was constructed in 1888-1889 (National Register 1971). The Flagler Memorial Presbyterian Church was constructed in 1889-1890 (National Register 1983). Flagler's private residence, Kirkside, was constructed in 1893.
Sources: Leslee Keys, Flagler College, "Historical Background on the Hotel Ponce de Leon", 2011. Susan R. Braden, The Architecture of Leisure: The Florida Resort Hotels of Henry Flagler and Henry Plant, 2002.
The collection consists of over 200 architectural drawings, blueprints and related material for the Hotel Ponce de Leon dating from about 1886 to 1963. In addition to original pencil drawings and blueprints, there are ink on linen drawings and other types of prints such as Vandyke prints, diazotype prints, and miscellaneous printed materials. Many of the blueprints are working copies that contain notes, corrections and changes in pencil, pen, and red and blue grease pencil. A number of the drawings have hand applied color. Sizes range from 8x8 inches to over 4x8 feet.
There are 217 drawings or related items in the collection. Many drawings have multiple copies and some of the drawings are in multiple pieces (e.g., a large drawing that had been cut into three sections). There are over 460 individual sheets in the collection. Most of the drawings include formal titles, and some include handwritten notations describing the content or purpose of the drawing. Whenever a drawing includes a formal title, the title is included with quotation marks in the description of the drawing.
The drawings are organized in several groups: 1) Architectural Drawings of Hotel Ponce de Leon; 2) Plans for Sewers on the Property of Henry Flagler; 3) Plans for Hotel Ponce de Leon as converted for Coast Guard use (United States Coast Guard Training Station); 4) Architectural Drawings of the Hotel Alcazar; and 5) Miscellaneous Drawings and Maps Related to the Properties of Henry Flagler and the Florida East Coast Hotel Company (including the Hotel Ponce de Leon).
The large majority of the drawings are in the first group: Architectural Drawings of Hotel Ponce de Leon. These drawings include original floor plans from the 1880s and 1890s, as designed by Carrère & Hastings. Other floor plans document renovations completed by McGuire & McDonald in the early decades of the 20th Century, particularly in 1909 and 1924. The drawings are primarily floor plans; there are a small number of sections, elevations and detail drawings. There are numerous drawings relating to the dining room and the dining room windows. Several drawings from the 1930s document the installation of sprinklers, and a series of drawings from 1947 document work related to elevators in the hotel. This group also includes property maps and a drawing of a proposed cascade that was intended for the property.
The second group, Plans for Sewers on the Property of Henry Flagler, includes drawings of sewer lines and proposed sewer lines on and around the Flagler's property. In addition to the Hotel Ponce de Leon, the Hotel Cordova and the Hotel Alcazar are also referenced in the drawings. The third group include drawings that date from 1943-1944 and document how the Hotel Ponce de Leon was converted for use by the U.S. Coast Guard as a training station. The fourth group includes four drawings for the Hotel Alcazar. The fifth and final group includes drawings and maps relating to Flagler's properties in Florida. In addition to the Hotel Ponce de Leon, this group also includes a drawing relating to the Grace Methodist Episcopal Church and a map of Florida East Coast Hotel Property in Palm Beach, Florida.
The collection is available for research. However, due to the extremely fragile nature of the drawings, researchers are asked to use digital reproductions available online at http://ufdc.ufl.edu/caha.
The University of Florida also holds Carrère & Hastings drawings for the Memorial Presbyterian Church in St. Augustine. Flagler College holds materials pertaining to the history of the Hotel Ponce de Leon, Henry Flagler, and the East Coast Hotel Company.
The majority of these drawings had been presumed lost for decades. The drawings had been stored, wrapped in unmarked rolls, in a basement boiler room in the building. Unfortunately, their significance was not realized by the few people of knew of their existence. In 2004, the drawings were rediscovered by staff members of Flagler College.
The items in this collection have been digitized and are available via the Carrère & Hastings Digital Collection page in the University of Florida Digital Collections (UFDC). The items were digitized with the generous support of a Save America's Treasures grant administered by the National Endowment for the Humanities. In addition to the links that are provided throughout this guide to the collection, all materials can be searched or browsed at the Carrère & Hastings Digital Collection page.
[Identification of item], Flagler College's Hotel Ponce de Leon Architecture Collection, Special and Area Studies Collections, George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida.
In 2005 Flagler College placed the collection on deposit at the University of Florida.
All arrangement and description activities, conservation treatments, and digital imaging were completed in 2011-12 with generous support of a Save America's Treasures grant. Many of the drawings include original numbers (e.g., "Plan No. 4") and it is possible that the drawings may have been arranged in order within discrete sets. However, the severe deterioration of multiple drawings resulted in the loss of identifying numbers and it was impossible to accurately discern the original order of the drawings. The order that currently exists is an artificial order imposed by archivists at the University of Florida. Similar drawings were grouped together based on subject, format, or date. Similarly, the numbers assigned to the drawings are not original numbers used by the creators of the drawings. These numbers were assigned during processing of the collection.

Bind on local network: can't do short hostname and reverse lookups
On my local network I have a Slackware 14.0 server running with Bind configured as a primary master for the bogus domain "microlinux.montpezat". Here's my configuration. Code:
// /etc/named.conf Code:
; zone.microlinux.montpezat Code:
; revp.192.168.2 When using dig on a local hostname, I can't seem to use the short hostname without the FQDN part to get an answer. I don't know if this behavior is normal. This works: Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ dig raymonde.microlinux.montpezat +short Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ dig raymonde +short Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ dig -x 192.168.2.4 Cheers, Niki |
After much more googling and debugging and experimenting, I got a little further, and it looks like it's almost perfectly working. A few little questions remain though. But first things first.
The server is running DHCP and DNS, so here's what /etc/dhcpd.conf looks like (I shortened the listings down to one server and three clients: Code:
# /etc/dhcpd.conf Code:
# Generated by dhcpcd from eth0 The zone file for the "microlinux.montpezat" zone looks like this: Code:
; zone.microlinux.montpezat Code:
; revp.192.168.2 Query a hosts' IP address using nslookup: Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ nslookup raymonde Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ nslookup 192.168.2.4 Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ dig raymonde.microlinux.montpezat +short Code:
[kikinovak@alphamule:~] $ dig raymonde Any suggestions? Anyone spotted some misconfiguration somewhere? |
Normal operation of dig.
A hint, the question section shows the lookup of :- raymonde. note the trailing dot, this dot means that there is nothing else to the right of the name been searched. dig is different to the old nslookup tool in that it designed specifically as a tool to query name servers therefore your domain name search string is not used as it is assumed that you have given the entire search string on the command line. |
Thanks very much for the clarification!

Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Fishery Program
You can help save salmon and get paid to do it by going fishing! The Pikeminnow Sport Reward Fishery Program, funded by the Bonneville Power Administration and administered by the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission, pays anglers for each northern pikeminnow that they catch that is nine inches or larger. Rewards range from $4 to $8 per fish, and special tagged fish are worth $500.
For more information see: Northern Pikeminnow Sport-Reward Program
The program operates from May 1 to September 30, 2014 in the lower Columbia River (mouth to Priest Rapids Dam) and the Snake River (mouth to Hells Canyon Dam).
Northern pikeminnow eat millions of salmon and steelhead juveniles each year in the Columbia and Snake River systems. The goal of the program is not to eliminate northern pikeminnow, but rather to reduce the average size and curtail the number of larger older fish. Reducing the number of these predators can greatly help the salmon and steelhead juveniles making it out to sea.
In 2013, the top twenty anglers caught an average of about 3,200 fish per angler and averaged reward payments of $26,000 each for the 5 month season. The highest paid angler earned $76,478. BPA funds the program to partially mitigate for the impact of the federal Columbia River hydroelectric system on salmon. Results indicate the program is successful. Since 1990, over 4.2 million northern pikeminnow have been removed by the Sport Reward Fishery. Predation on juvenile salmonids has been cut by an estimated 40%.

My 81 yr old mom has been knitting for years but can not recall how to "knit the yarn ont to the needles to start a scarf made with the pom pom yarn. We know how to make pom poms but, this particular yarn has a small pom pom aprx 4"-5" apart already on the yarn itself. Can anyone help me get instructions as to how she can Start the project? She was planning to make scarves for her 3 great grand-daughters for Christmas. Thanks for any and all advise, my momo and I appreciate your input (:

To sewknitter: I found the instruction for pom-poms for a knitted Baby Jester Hat on this site. "Pom-Poms Wind yarn around 3 fingers approx 60 times. Remove from fingers and tie tightly in center. Cut through each side of loops. Trim to a smooth round shape." (This would probably be about a 2"-2 1/2" pom-pom. On my hand, 4 fingers would yield about a 3" pom-pom, and 2 fingers a 1 1/2" pom-pom.) Good Luck! J.B.

Sonar, Hannah Stodel, John Robertson, Stephen Thomas - London 2012 Paralympic Sailing Regatta
The trio of John Robertson, Hannah Stodel and Steve Thomas enjoyed a solid start to the day, picking up a fourth place in the first race of the regatta. But it was an incident at the start of race two, which, ultimately unsuccessfully, saw the Brits in the protest room, claiming they had been disadvantaged by a race committee error.
The Australian team clearly jumped the gun at the start of race two, and returned to re-start as permitted by the rules. However the race team failed to remove the recall flag, causing the Brits to believe that they too had started too early.
Yet as they were on their way back to the line the flag was lowered, suggesting there were no other boats that had jumped the gun asides from the Aussies, costing the Brits precious seconds.
The race committee admitted there had been a delay in lowering the recall flag but the jury ruled that the race committee's error, combined with the Brits delaying their own response to the flag, had not made Britain's finishing position significantly worse.
Robertson's team recovered from last in the race to finish eighth, which, when added to their opening race fourth, left them sitting in sixth overall overnight. But the trio admit although they were disappointed not to have their request for redress accepted in the protest room they will not dwell on it as they look ahead to the rest of the regatta.
Stodel said: 'As we were quite punchy on the start line we thought it was best to play it safe and go back but as we were sailing back they took the flag down so we got a bit of a disadvantage and a late start and were about 30 seconds behind the fleet at that point so had a bit on. We managed to pull back to eighth but it was disappointing not have got it overturned in the protest room but we live to fight another day.'
Robertson said: 'Potentially redress would have given us average points or time back, and that could make quite a big difference at the end of the week, so we're fighting for every point where we can. But tomorrow is just another day's racing. Spirits were high today, even when it was at times a bit sketchy, because that's racing.'
Thomas said: 'It's been a mixed bag of results so obviously we will be looking to improve on that tomorrow. There is a long way to go, there are 11 races and we treat every race the same.'
The trio were keen to avoid a repeat of four years ago when scores of ninth and third on day one in Beijing knocked them off kilter early in the regatta and they struggled to come back to pose a genuine threat to the medals, only finding their best form towards the end of the week.
Robertson admits that despite the disappointment in race two today his team had sailed well to give them plenty of optimism.
He added: 'It was good to get started which was the main thing. After Beijing's pretty average start today was a lot better but there is still a lot to be improved on. The first race was okay, second race not ideal. There were a huge number of place changes throughout the racing. In that second race we obviously went back, were tail-end Charlies, and got back to about third or fourth on the third beat. Then there was a big 30 degree left wind shift so all those places we had gained, and actually got to the front of the fleet, they disappeared in 30 seconds. But we go again tomorrow and we look forward to it.'
Racing is scheduled to resume at 11am on Sunday 2nd September. Two races are scheduled per day for each class except on the final day when there will be one race.

Charles Sprague Wayside in the Tillamook State Forest is a living monument of trees honoring the former governor and Oregon Statesman publisher.
If you go
Where: Charles Sprague Wayside
Directions from Salem: Drive Highway 22 west through Valley Junction to Hebo, then Highway 101 north to Tillamook. From there, take Highway 6 east up into the Coast Range for 11 miles and the Wayside will be on your right.
Legend has it that longtime Oregon Statesman publisher Charles Sprague churned out almost a half million words per year. Of course, his newspaper drew its substance from a particular strength of the state � timber products � and Sprague saw advocating for conservation of the natural world as one of his most crucial responsibilities.
Upon becoming governor in 1939, Sprague�s influence grew stronger. Oregon was transfixed by the catastrophic series of fires known as the Tillamook Burn, which scorched more than 355,000 acres of old growth forest starting in 1933, and Sprague worried about a future timber shortage. He searched for ways to ensure that �this great asset� could never be lost.
�I hope that future generations of Oregonians will find my monument growing in the forests of this state,� Gov. Sprague said after signing a package of timber management laws in 1941. �I regard these bills as the most important work of the entire session.�
Indeed, Sprague�s legacy is vast. In addition to his namesake high school in South Salem, the burned swath of high Coast Range terrain was replanted from 1949 to 1973 in the largest reforestation project of its kind. In 1973, Gov. Tom McCall officially designated it Tillamook State Forest, but it was Charles Sprague�s tireless advocacy as governor and throughout his 40 years as Oregon Statesman publisher that influenced the state and its citizens to take action.
His legacy is on display at the Charles Sprague Wayside along the Wilson River east of Tillamook. A trailhead features plaques telling the story of the Tillamook Burn and Sprague�s reaction, and lovely trails spread out through the forest, under a canopy of green.
Seedlings sprout upward, new growth beside the fallen trees, and life regenerates as it has since before there was an Oregon.

Best Cruise we've been on
Yeah embarkation took a little time but the line moved well. The ship itself was impeccable regard cleanliness, the food in all free restaurants was great and in particular dinner selections were very good and the quality was excellent we were lucky enough to be on the top floor of the dinning room during the 6:00pm sitting but apparently the young children were feed on the bottom floor and it may have been a bit noisy but I can't confirm this.
We were at table 552 (4) just near the musician and had terrific meals together. Great family time. I recommend this table if you can book them prior?
Our cabin was interior and was our little get away cave. Once that door is shut and the lights off you wouldn't know what time of day it was. Good for sleeping off a late night. we had adjoining rooms with the kids (16 & 14) and found this to be good for families.
We found all the staff including waiters, cabin stewards to be very efficient and helpful. The shows we a More
little ordinary but I thought the 3 different comedians we had we're pretty good. The ice show was freeking unreal, truely amazing that this can happen half way across Bass Straight.
Be carefull of the spirits they are free poured and strong I got caught out and ended up checking out the plumbing, which was also good. No backing up of the toilets or showers in our cabins as we've suffered in the past with cheaper cruises.
Great time in Hobart must suggest Muirs Seafoods for freshly shucked oysters $15 a doz. Just near the dock.
We will certainly go back on this cruise line and this ship but may try another ship with the same company. After having been on local cruise lines in the past the differance of having a holiday on something of this size and quality was very refreshing for not alot of exra money.
Cheers MD Less

The U.S. Can Kick The Can Down The Road To Ultimate Insolvency
As a business man, I can't kick the can down the road.
A business man or woman in the free capital markets needs to make it or break it day to day.
Otherwise, if we go to our Uncle for a loan, the loans never end, we get weaker and weaker and sooner or later, our business fades away in insolvency.
And so, the U.S. Government with its deal making tax deficits, stimulus, borrowing, kicking the can down the road will get what it deserves.
A collapse, a 2012 campaign issue and the Republican obstructionists will sweep into power, and the can will just get kicked further down the road to ultimate collapse.
The famed economist, Keynes, is not here to fix it, and even if he was, there is no solution for corruption, market manipulation, poor fiscal policy, lack of final demand.
Richard Michael Abraham, Founder
The REDI Foundation
Honestly, no one can argue that the repubs, dems, and an appathetic public are to blame for the deficit. However, for any liberal to even speak of fiscal irresponsibility when under this administration the federal budget has ballooned to nearly 3 trillion in two years is criminal.
Therefore why would spend heavy leftist be against tax breaks? Answer because they see a greater opportunity to further plunge the country into debt. $800 billion could be spent on pie-in-the-sky projects like Obamacare, education (because we all know the more money you throw at a problem the better the results), higher more federal worker (increasing our future obligations), and in general giving more to those who don't earn it.
Take Walmart for instance, there are plenty on the left that wants Walmart (a private company) to be made to pay its employees more because minimum wage (which the government set) is not enough to support a family. News flash get several jobs, get educated, join the military. Our government wasn't founded on the principle of equal pay for everyone only equal opportunity for everyone.
Economists Mostly Soothsayers
QE2 is backfiring as interest rates go up and not down. Similar distortions will result from the current likely passing of the tax bill.
Economists generally wait for economic signals to surface and then make their predictions. Rarely, do they know anything more the the common man or woman. I do not seek to disparage economists but rather to illustrate the laws of natural consequence.
The FED and the U.S. Government, and Wall Street have been spinning recovery for so long that the impetus is gone. They have been overt and obvious and that is when the economy will react opposite to their intentions.
Telegraphing the results sought by implementing QE2 or Tax Plans is self defeating. Improvement is likely, but a host of unintended results will outweigh the intended benefits.
This contrarian view will prove itself in the months to come, more likely at the tail end when the negative consequences of market and economic manipulation will be most felt.
Economists can't use historical charts to predict the economic future anymore because the present economy is unlike any other before. Unemployment and a wretched housing market, linchpins in American society are just conversational pieces today but indeed, historically were unrivaled benchmarks.
What is taking place is the blind are indeed leading the blind. One "Hail Mary" pass after another. Doesn't work that way.
Presently, expect the hoopla to bring immediate positive results, followed by a general collapse that perils the United States' economic foundation.
Too much manipulation, spin, hype, failed ideas, new ideas, never ending cascade of "Hail Mary" passes. Unintended consequences will shut the system down because soothsaying does not work.
Richard Michael Abraham, Founder
The REDI Foundation
The farse of the current two party system has never been better displayed. What deficit? Bernanke said he would monetize $600 billion in debt, it took them a month to spend it. We are saddled with debt, public and private debt in the US is over $60 Trillion, just interest on that at 5% is $3 Trillion or 20% of GDP. We must end the bankocracy, end the debt, and restore the Republic. Here is one man's journey from Liberal Democrat to Radical Libertarian, a very good read with a good plan of action http://www.thecactusland.com/2010/09/from-liberal-to-libertarian-bush-ob...
Republicans are not actually interested in the deficit; they are interested in tax cuts no matter what. They still cling to the failed "Starve the Beast" theory, which posits that if tax cuts are sufficient eventually government spending will be cut. Well, instead folks simply think their services are free, as debt is used to finance them. To use an example, if President Obama had required a tax to pay for the recent surge in Afghanistan, folks might have balked. Only when you are asked to pay for your government services can you have a serious debate about whether they should be provided.
U.S. Federal spending has increased every year since 1970. There is no reason to believe this will change, particularly considering the aging of the population (5 workers per retiree in 1960 will is about 3 today and 2 by 2040). So a tax cut just increases the deficit, to the tune of about $300 billion per year or 2% of GDP according to CBO estimates.
Ultimately, the U.S. must decide to fund its government, which is well on its way to 25% of GDP vs. the historical 20%. We can do this now, or wait and pay even higher taxes later, plus interest and inflation. It is also unethical, as George Washington pointed out, to burden future generations with the burden you should bear.
I was embarrassed for my country that my President made this choice. It was not our finest hour.
President Obama's inexperience costs Americans $900 Billion Dollars
President Obama's failure to raise the tax issues and extension of unemployment benefits in August-October, 2010, where the Democratic Party would have had more leverage represents a $900 Billion Dollar mistake.
This mistake highlights President Obama's shortcomings and lack of negotiating experience.
Now, his back against the wall, he had to settle for less and a humbling reversal of his campaign promises.
No matter what the outcome, President Obama comes out looking more and more like a President alienated from the American Public and now, even his party Democrats.
Of course, his spin masters will put out the message that he negotiated a $900 Billion Dollar stimulus package, but that will fail to hold true for two reasons:
1. The tax cuts have not measurably helped the economy since 2001-2003.
2. Shrewd affluent and wealthy recognize it's just a two year reprieve and will not increase their job creation investments.
On top of this, adding to the deficit, creating more debt borrowing, and the FEDs easy money QE2 will not keep down interest rates, or create jobs, but will absolutely lead to inflation.
President Obama's lack of experience and judgment is beginning to show serious economic casualties.
Good intentions are simply not enough.
Though I voted for President Obama, the change and hope I thought would come about, is greatly diminished.
Richard Michael Abraham, Founder
The REDI Foundation
What I've witnessed from my brief experiences in campaigning, particularly with regard to Democratic policies, is twofold: first, the antipathy toward government is extraordinarily high at this time, either because of "failed stimulus" (i.e., misinformation, in my opinion) - meaning: the government, anathema at most times, is not doing "enough" at this time to help families who are struggling; secondly, there is a subconscious resentment of Barack Obama (i.e., a "black man") himself, particularly among the older generations - perhaps some/most of Gen X, and most likely a majority of older generations. The latter, especially in combination with "single-issue" voters (i.e., pro-gun, pro-Christian voters) is driving the "heartland" of America to the GOP, despite it being against their supposed philosophy and likely self interest.
Admittedly, for those who drive GOP policy, especially the "Tea Party" "movement" (read: the Koch family), they are playing their cards smartly. In effect, they're modeling the anti-Obama movement after the Obama movement. Glenn Beck, as much as I personally loathe him, is effective at what he does (i.e., instill paranoia). American democracy, save the Citizens United case, is now a battleground of grassroots v. grassroots campaigning.
As a so-called Millenial, one who will (hopefully) be alive in fifty-plus years, I worry about the debt, but not at this time - even understanding the potential effects of the debt burden. Personally, I believe the Bush tax cuts were mostly harmful overall, save those who benefited from them (top 2%). I believe most of my generation understands that entitlement programs are a long-lost dream, but we still believe in their efficacy. The problem is, as some comments suggest, finding the politicians who stand up for what is necessary instead of what is politically expedient. The successful candidate, particularly for my generation, is the economically conservative, socially liberal/libertarian; whichever party captures this ground will have sure footing going forward, at least, that is what I hope.
Real happy with your new republican congressmen? I guess you forgot that you drink coffee nowadays...
Who won or who lost out of this tax negotiation will certainly magnify within the next two years as predicted that more American jobs will be created asthe GDP will gain at 4% in average in the coming days. If that happens then the bi partisan cooperation is indeed worthwhile.
Yes, the 99 weeks (and not extending it, is terrible for those families), and the Unemployment should be addressed.
The bigger problem is that No Politician, newspaper, TV reporting, brings up what is really causing the deficit. The 'wars" that we are engaged in. They are Costing Trillions-Yet no one speaks.
By the way I was a Recon Marine in Viet Nam in 67-68. I am not a pacifist. I am saying we tax payers are lining the wallets of the top 5% of Americans (politicians, industrialists, Wall Street).
One remedy for the "wars", pullout convention and only keep ,Green Beret,Rangers,Seals,Recon Marines and artillery.
Can still "Win" at a much more cost efficient business model.
The reason we aren't conducting the "wars" this way is beacause the top 5%,would not be making millions upon millions of dollars each month,with Our Tax Payers Dollars......
History has had a way of teaching us that "finding common ground" and "compromise" have been part of the process all the time. Government has to work and the alterntive to that could be forboding.
Criticism of President Obama by my fellow Republicans for his move to The Centre makes me think of the seducer, who dismisses the damsel for reasons of moral character, after having spent a considerable amount of time enticing her to succumb to his wishes.
May I suggest the reading of The Framing of the Constitution by Max Farrand and Jefferson and Hamilton, The Struggle for Democracy in America by Claude G. Bowers. If you examine the poitical beliefs of The Founding Fathers, you would wonder how this republic could ever have been formed, say nothing of having been sustained.
Benjamin Franklin was very old during The Constitutioal Convention, and according to one source, slept through much of it. He would awake from time to time when arguments became severely loud and would then mention the good points on both sides of the argument. They would "find common ground" and he would go back to sleep. At one point, when The Convention was about to break up, Franklin (the least religious of the delegates) suggested prayer. They all did so and America has a Republic.
Interesting! I understand that both President Obama and Sarah Palin read The Bible and pray everyday. I understand! If either of them are like me, they need all the help thy can get.
A month ago, the Economist referred to "permanent extension of the middle-class tax cuts, plus a temporary extension of the upper-income tax cuts" as a plausible compromise, and called a second stimulus (i.e. deficit spending) "a cogent answer to the immediate problem of the stuttering recovery."
Three weeks ago the Economist said that "If taxes rise or spending falls immediately, the economy could slide back into recession, as happened in Japan in 1997." Since then, unemployment has increased, so taxes on the wealthy should be raised? I'm having a little difficulty squaring that circle...
And, as far as the "expensive consolation prizes" go, don't tax credits for education help encourage retraining workers in obsolete fields? Won't business investment write-offs speed up the rebalancing phase of the recovery?

In a modern market place, the world DOES revolve around the proverbial "me", because of choices. If iD does not cater to their clientèle, then they do not have a product because no one will buy it. Would-be customers will go elsewhere.
This is all very simple:
Has the update been a net positive? If yes, continue. If not, do something else.
The lack of Dev interaction here speaks volumes (and make no mistake, they are reading the comments). This leads me to assume that the update has been a net negative. That conclusion appears to be corroborated by fewer people playing the game.
At this point I find it hilarious that someone at iD is hoping against hope that this somehow turns around, despite all the writing on the wall. Classic denial. The ego of the individual(s) making these decisions must be massive to withstand the withering criticisms, both public and private.
To them, I would say you should have been a prize fighter, because at least you still win something even when you lose. However, in the world of entrepreneurial business, that is rarely the case.
I think the door is finally beginning to close on QL, and it could have been avoided.
They were probably losing money which would eventually lead to them shutting down QL... And also the activity in premium servers was dead before this patch because all the premium/pro users were playing in publics (myself included) - this change might fix that...
Think of the free to play as a demo. If you like Quake and want it to continue / and you want all the features then pay for it to support it. It's not expensive...
I'm going to be running a 16 player TX FFA with callvote enabled for a while. I rarely use my server hosting so as long as there's a desire for it I'll keep it going.
I can't really do anything about the map pool without setting the server up as Premium, but at least you can callvote your way around it.
imo FFA and CTF look about the same as always, TDM looks even deader than it already was and duel seems a little quiet. No idea on how many CA servers there were before...that's in EU
Have a nice FALL!

Media briefs: Labor class of '04 … inside: ads … Nine News crash …
Newsroom unrest on Newsroom ads? Nothing illustrates the desperation of newspapers to preserve a skerrick of their dwindling revenue than pages two and three of most of the nation's newspapers this morning. For News Limited tabloids The Daily Telegraph, The Courier-Mail, The Advertiser and The Mercury, the union-backed Industry Super Funds have splashed with double-page spreads at an estimated cost of $50,000 a pop …
But broadsheet fans can't escape ad blitz either — The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age have splashes for Foxtel's delayed airing of The Newsroom (most Newsroom fans have watched it on Pirate Bay). Fairfax's more high-minded journalists wouldn't have liked seeing that in their papers today …
Amazingly, the only daily capital city papers without ads on the inside cover pages are The Canberra Times and the NT News. Welcome to the future. — Andrew Crook
Labor's class of '04 remembered in print. With the Australian Workers' Union's 1994-95 factional machinations all over the news, Crikey thought it pertinent to cast an eye over some of its in-house journal's archives. This amusing autumn 2004 edition of The Australian Worker contains the column "Bright Young Things", assessing the talents of some of the Right's most talented prospects.
For Richard Marles, former ACTU assistant secretary and now federal member for Corio, there is no chance of him ever running for Corio. Marles "dismisses rumours of standing for the federal seat of Corio," the Worker reports. "Canberra is very hard on families. I am very happy here [at the ACTU]. It's all too far in the future to be relevant." (He was elected in 2007.)
What about John Robertson, the NSW Labor Council secretary turned NSW opposition leader? Could he envisage a future in politics? Not really. "I'm staying here for another four or five years, "Robertson says (true to his word, Robertson was elected in 2011).
For rising HSU stars such as Kathy Jackson, Parliament is also viewed with scepticism. Representative chambers should not "be a dumping ground for former union officials to get them out of the way". But Jackson, who had failed in her bid for an upper house seat of Silvan eight years earlier, and would jostle for preselection in Northcote two years later, leaves the door ajar: "If we're able to represent our members and have been successful union officials, then if a choice at some point is Parliament, it's a choice that has to be looked at."
The other AWU profilee who hasn't yet entered parliament is former Queensland ALP state secretary Cameron Milner. Milner was keen to keep agitating for the rights of working people: "That doesn't change, whether you've got a Labor government or not." Unfortunately, working people seem to have momentarily slipped from Milner's gaze: he's now a lobbyist for Rio Tinto and Gina Rinehart. — Andrew Crook
Front page of the day. Today's UK Independent covers WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's speech from the Ecuadorian embassy in London:
The Department of Corrections. Saturday's Melbourne Herald Sun managed to get the names of two Hawthorn AFL players, Cyril Rioli and Jarryd Roughead, very very wrong in a report, hilariously using Cereal Oriole and Dared Aroused instead. They apologised the next day.
Nine News crew in Sydney pile-up
"A Nine News crew was caught in a pile-up involving at least six cars on Sydney's M4 motorway after a driver suddenly braked to a halt on an off ramp. " — NineMSN
MasterChef Melbourne-bound
"Ten has confirmed MasterChef Australia will have a new home at the Melbourne Showgrounds, from 2013." — TV Tonight
The struggle for independence for Bulgaria's media
"The European Commission has vowed to monitor media freedoms closely in Bulgaria, where rival political and business groups have taken control of top news organisations and used them to promote their interests. " — The New York Times
Whitlam doco green light
"The story of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam's time in power and the changes of the era is among five documentary projects to receive $2m of investment from Screen Australia" — mUmBRELLA
At least they didn't call him "Squirrel Areola"?
re "The struggle for independence for Bulgaria's media". It appears they are fighting the battle we have already lost.
For rising HSU stars such as Kathy Jackson, Parliament is also viewed with scepticism…. LOL. Is this the same Kathy Jackson who was guest of honour at the latest HR Nicholls society evening? The one who knifed the ALP's Craig Thompson, and the one who is engaged to Michael Lawler, Tony Abbott's BFF? Which party would endorse her? The ALP? Oh dear, my sides are hurting….can't see through my tears of laughter…
Now it looks like she's chasing a Liberal seat - "for services rendered" - so she can "put her feet up" for good?

Second Layer
There are lots of threads about base layers (under armor, etc.) and outer layer (jackets, shells, outerwear), but what about the second layer?
Do you guys just wear your hoodies? I already have a hood on my jacket and I'm not pimp enough to have double hoods :laugh: |
depends on what temps you ride in.
I ride in -10C - -30C weather, so the second layer for me is a high quality fleece garmet. |
For a mid layer you should look at synthetic or merino. I have a lightweight fleece.
A basic rule is to never wear cotton (hoody) if you are wanting to stay dry/warm. I will wear a base and hoody once it starts to warm up though, because then I don't have to worry about freezing my ass off. My mid layer right now is an arcteryx covert fleece. Expensive shit but very well worth it. |
UA Cold Gear Hoodie is what I wear. Its not cotton and is very warm with a base layer either UA or HH. Just stay away from Cotton.
I am usually fine in a patagonia #3 baselayer and my lightly insulated jacket, but for really cold days, I drop to a patagonia #1 or #2 baselayer (thinner) and add this new bad boy r1 hooded fleece, the hood fits under my helmet and covers part of my face.
I am pretty much a patagonia whore when it comes to baselayers and fleeces |

Title: | Mechanical and thermal stresses in a functionally graded rotating disk with variable thickness due to radially symmetry loads |
Author: | Bayat, M.; Saleem, M.; Sahari, B.B.; Hamouda, A.M.S.; Mahdi, E. |
Abstract: | Rotating disks have many applications in the aerospace industry such as gas turbines and gears. These disks normally work under thermo mechanical loads. Minimizing the weight of such components can help reduce the overall payload in aerospace industry. For this purpose, a rotating functionally graded (FG) disk with variable thickness under a steady temperature field is considered in this paper. Thermo elastic solutions and the weight of the disk are related to the material grading index and the geometry of the disk. It is found that a disk with parabolic or hyperbolic convergent thickness profile has smaller stresses and displacements compared to a uniform thickness disk. Maximum radial stress due to centrifugal load in the solid disk with parabolic thickness profile may not be at the center unlike uniform thickness disk. Functionally graded disk with variable thickness has smaller stresses due to thermal load compared to those with uniform thickness. It is seen that for a given value of grading index, the FG disk having concave thickness profile is the lightest in weight whereas the FG disk with uniform thickness profile is the heaviest. Also for any given thickness profile, the weight of the FG disk lies in between the weights of the all-metal and the all-ceramic disks. |
